COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONOriginally developed for British sailors stationed in India, IPAs were aggressively hopped to help prevent spoilage on long ocean voyages. Now that spoilage isn’t as big a problem, we’ve eased up on the hoppiness just a hair to let the caramel malts shine through. It’s a big beer with big flavor that really lets you appreciate hops in all their glory.

Pours a golden amber with a frothy head that actually hangs on (most IPA dissipates pretty quickly so this is a warning sign). Was expecting quite a not o bold flavor as I heard this brewery is pretty popular on the northwest coast. Pretty basic IPA.

12 oz bottle. This beer is a horrible example of an IPA! Should be labeled as cheap American Schwill. Aroma is of hay, leather and something sour I can’t describe. Pours a nice dark yellow with a thick head which is its only redeeming quality. Taste is salty, bitter and not fun to drink. Palate is harsh, not fun to drink. Overall this is not fun to drink; should have known with the 6.99 price point.

Bottle, this beer had a clear copper pour and made a one and half off-white head that receded to a thin cover and ring, there were some small spots of lacing on the glass,
the aromas were light toasted malt, faint caramel, and the faint hops are woody and citrus,
it had flavors of light toasted malt and some caramel, and a little hop bitterness, hops taste a little off, cardboard like flavor after the finish, the finish had some hop bitterness with some malt sweetness still on the tongue,
the mouth feel was light and a little thin,
an IPA with a faint nose and light flavors.

Amber in color with a decent off-white head. The grassy hop aroma mixed with a hint of vegetable matter and vinegar create an aroma of sauerkraut. The taste is a little better with caramel, masking tape, and woody hops.
